## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has completed a procurement process titled "Evaluating the impact of recognising medical trainers on the quality of medical education." This tender falls under the research services category and was conducted using an open procurement method. The project aimed to investigate the effects of GMC's recognition of trainers on medical education quality, with a total contract value of £50,000. The contract period ran from 13th November 2018 to 18th August 2019. The initiative covered delivery locations including regions in North West England and London, with the tender period concluding on 16th October 2018.

This procurement offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in social research and educational evaluations. Companies that can provide robust methodologies and insights into the educational training process, especially in healthcare, would be well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. The project's focus on enhancing medical education quality suggests that firms with a strong background in health services, educational consulting, and training evaluation could benefit from these kinds of contracts to expand their business and market presence.
